Clinell Contiplan Cleansing Wipes - 25 Cloth Pack

Contiplan - Continence Cloths

Continence care is an essential part of healthcare and needs to be undertaken sensitively and competently to ensure any patients who have a bladder or bowel problem are supported to manage it. Effective continence care is not just essential for patient comfort, it's a vital part of patient safety.

IAD is the clinical symptom of moisture skin damage following prolonged exposure to urine and/or faeces. Sufferers of IAD encounter pain, discomfort and damage to their skin barrier function. This puts them at risk and increases their chances of infection. Men and women of any age can suffer with IAD, but the elderly, generally unwell and those who are immobile or bed-bound or incontinent are at increased risk. Treating IAD is a matter of minimising exposure to moisture and irritants, gentle cleansing and the application of a skin protectant. This has historically been a time-consuming process, meaning staff compliance is often poor.

Contiplan combines these steps into a single easy action. Contiplans's ultra-soft cleansing cloths work to cleanse, moisturise and protect all in one. Nursing staff prefer it to traditional methods, leading to an increase in compliance. Operational managers prefer it because it replaces multiple products with a single cloth. Patients prefer it because it significantly reduces the prevalence of IAD, easing discomfort and keeping them safe.
